POLITICS
 Blair:
A question of leadership

It is an unusual, possibly unique approach from Tony Blair to his anti-terror laws. As he told his monthly press conference, his determination to push through the 90 day detention proposal is "absolutely undiminished". He knows it is the right thing to do, the public support him and, he suggests, to oppose it is to compromise national security. It doesn't get much stronger than that. Yet, he also insists, this is not about his authority or a matter of confidence in his leadership. ..Full story
 Ministers
firm on detention plan

Home Secretary Charles Clarke says the government will stand firm on plans to allow police to hold terror suspects without charge for up to 90 days. Ministers had been expected to offer a compromise deal, following fierce opposition from MPs on all sides.

The decision came after Tony Blair and Mr Clarke met Labour MPs...Full story

The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall have sampled further organic delights as they visited an "edible school yard" near San Francisco. Camilla enjoyed a slice of pizza while Charles told children he was "thankful for all nature's gifts" as he ate some autumn harvest soup. All the food was made by children, who are taught how to grow and cook organic food at the garden in Berkeley. The US visit earlier took in a farmers' market in the Californian hills. Camilla, taking a mouthful of the pizza, made with potato, onion and rosemary from the garden, said: "I'm always eating." The prince warned her: "Don't darling - it's hot....Full story
ARTS AND CULTURE
Tate unveils 14,000-box sculpture. A mammoth installation comprising 14,000 white polyethylene boxes has gone on display at Tate Modern gallery. Turner Prize-winning sculptor Rachel Whiteread says her work, entitled Embankment, explores the "universal quality of the box". Whiteread was inspired by a cardboard box she used to house her toys, found while clearing her late mother's house. She is the sixth artist to fill the London gallery's Turbine Hall, which is 500ft long and 115ft high. After discovering the box, Whiteread, 42, says she came upon boxes squashed in the street, stacked in the back of a lorry or used more inventively in the likes of children's playhouses... Full story
